Extract real-time SEC EDGAR Schedule 13D (SC 13D) and Schedule 13G (SC 13G) beneficial ownership filings directly into clean JSON, CSV, or Excel datasets. Instantly spot when an activist hedge fund, corporate raider, or institutional whale accumulates 5% or more of a public company's voting stock—or files a 13D/A buyout proposal, board seat demand, or stake increase.

Built for event-driven hedge funds, merger arbitrage desks, financial newsletters, n8n and Make automation workflows, and AI agents (Claude MCP and Cursor)—with zero SEC API keys or residential proxies required.

SEC Schedule 13D & 13G Filing Codes Reference

Under Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, any investor or fund that acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a public company's voting shares must disclose their stake to the SEC:

Filing Type	Official Meaning	Market Catalyst Signal
SC 13D / SCHEDULE 13D	Initial 5%+ Activist Ownership Disclosure	Highest Bullish Catalyst — Filed within 5 business days when an activist hedge fund (Elliott Management, Bill Ackman, Carl Icahn, Starboard Value, Trian) crosses 5% ownership with intent to influence management, force a buyout, spin off divisions, or demand board seats.
SC 13D/A / SCHEDULE 13D/A	Activist Ownership Amendment	High Catalyst — Filed promptly whenever an activist increases or decreases their stake by 1% or more, or attaches an open letter, whitepaper, or buyout offer under Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction).
SC 13G / SCHEDULE 13G	Initial 5%+ Passive Whale Stake	Moderate-High Signal — Filed by institutional asset managers (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, Fidelity, sovereign wealth funds) or passive investors crossing the 5% ownership threshold without hostile takeover intent.
SC 13G/A / SCHEDULE 13G/A	5%+ Institutional Ownership Update	Moderate Signal — Shows whether major 5%+ institutional block holders are accumulating additional shares or reducing their position below 5%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between SEC Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G?

Both Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G are mandatory SEC filings triggered when an investor or fund acquires more than 5% of a public company's voting stock. Schedule 13D must be filed by "active" investors who intend to influence corporate control, replace executives, demand board seats, or push for a sale of the company. Schedule 13G is a shorter form permitted only for "passive" institutional or individual investors who certify they do not intend to change or influence control of the company.

How fast must an activist investor file Schedule 13D under the SEC rules?

Under modernized SEC beneficial ownership rules, an activist investor must file an initial Schedule 13D within 5 business days after crossing the 5% ownership threshold, and must file a Schedule 13D/A amendment within 2 business days of any material change (such as a 1% change in ownership or a change in takeover intent).

How can I connect this SEC 13D/13G API to Python, Google Sheets, or n8n?

You can trigger this Actor via the Apify REST API, the apify-client Python or Node.js SDK, or the native Apify integration node inside n8n, Make, and Zapier to automatically route 13D and 13G filings into Google Sheets, Slack, Telegram, or your quantitative trading database.
